Depends entirely on the USB converter you use. I mod the AE and put Superclock4 and new power supply and output circuit on it. Even with all of this and running on battery power, my USB converter is still better. Some USB converters will pass 24/96 also. I have a reclocker in prototype stage (Pace Car) that may change all that though. Reclocks the data from SB3, Sonos or AE.
